Using items on blocks in an environment with high latency sometimes causes the height limit warning to appear

After placing blocks during lag, the blocks are removed and the height limit message is shown.

Steps to Reproduce the issue:

  1. Get a diamond pickaxe and blocks

  2. Switch to survival mode

  3. Create a source of lag (Spawn about 2000 creepers)

  4. Start mining a tunnel and place blocks behind

  • When the server catches up, the blocks are reset and the build limit message appears

Expected Result:

The build limit message would not appear

Actual result:

The build limit message is displayed, even with blocks placed at deepslate level, in a normal overworld.

This happened to me, but in a different way, when I was throwing Ender pearls: Apparently, I interacted with two blocks at the same time.

Hi¡

I can’t record, but here is what is happening:

  • During the lag, player places some blocks

  • The text Height limit for building is 319 is displayed for the normal amount of time, at the same time as every sound since the last tick is played, and the placed blocks disappear

  • It also happens with ender pearls (video from 5Herdortz-256)

No, mods, vanilla; The only 2 resource packs change redstone lamp textures and enchantment text, doesn't affect it.

8GB RAM, Intel i5 CPU, Intel UHD Graphics 620 (128 MB) GPU

The issue has occurred multiple times, in the presence of lag. (Not rendering lag)

Still happening in 26.1-rc-2
